When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees And I wait for your look to judge and define me I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation I take from you as you take from me Like nervous hands reaching out for each other Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see
You're my mirror, everything I do I see in you You're my mirror in your eyes I hide You're my mirror, what you see is what you're giving me You're my mirror, in your eyes
As I turn around to leave, still in your spell I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window by your bed What an odd surprise to bump into myself like this I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn And the empty space before me swallows everything you give
I turn back to your look to find peace in your eyes I'm nothing without you, I'm hollow without you
You're my mirror, everything I do I see in you You're my mirror, in your eyes I hide You're my mirror what you see is what you're giving me You're my mirror, it's in your eyes
I find in his look an insecurity childishly submissive I say foolish things I do strange things for attention He finds within me some kind of unfamiliar hardness He sees both the child and the cynic
Everything I hold inside of me Everything I'm hoping I can be
You're my mirror, everything I do I see in you You're my mirror, in your eyes I hide You're my mirror what you see is what you're giving me You're my mirror, it's in your eyes
